[Therapy planning and prognosis evaluation in malignant kidney neoplasms. A lymphographic study of 50 malignant kidney neoplasms].

Of fifty patients with malignant renal tumors who underwent lymphographic examination, 15 (30%) had lymph node metastases. Two years from the beginning of therapy, 13 of these patients were deceased in spite of surgical and radiological treatment. The enhancement of the five-year survival rate following radiation therapy for malignant renal tumors is quoted between 7 and 26%. This success is probably due to the destruction of micrometastases, not being representable lymphographically. Radiation therapy of malignant renal tumors, therefore, can only be effective including the para-aortic lymphatic chains.

[Nephron-sparing treatment of kidney neoplasms in transplanted kidney. Our experience].

BACKGROUND: To evaluate survival rate, follow-up and renal function in patients treated with "nephron-sparing" approach due to cancer in a transplanted kidney. METHODS: During the 18 years' activity of our Transplantation Centre 3 renal carcinomas in transplanted kidneys (0.24%) have been found. Diagnoses were made in one case during transplantation procedures and, in the remaining two, 1 month and 10 years after. All tumours were unifocal, small (10, 12 and 18 mm of diameter), capsulated and low stage (T1). The resection of the mass ("nephron-sparing" surgery) and of a layer (1 cm thick) of the tissue surrounding the tumour was performed. The histological exam showed in all cases low grade (G2) renal cell carcinoma and negative surgical margins. RESULTS: 138, 94 and 15 months after transplant all patients are alive, without disease recurrence and with good renal function. In all cases the doses of immune-suppressive therapy were reduced. CONCLUSIONS: Renal cancer in transplanted kidneys is generally treated with nephrectomy. On the contrary, we decided to apply the same criteria which are accepted for the treatment of renal neoplasms in general and then to perform a "nephron-sparing" surgery when the tumour is small, capsulated and with negative surgical margins at the intraoperative histological exam. In personal experience good results from the oncologic and nephrologic point of view have been accomplished.

[Conservative elective surgery in kidney neoplasms].

After the good results of "necessary" conservative surgery in the treatment of kidney neoplasms (bilateral neoplasms, congenital, acquired or functional solitary kidney), conservative surgery itself has been employed as elective treatment in selected cases presenting without the overmentioned problems. The authors report two cases of elective conservative surgery in kidney neoplasm with good results after 18 and 24 months.

Normal excretory urography in patients with primary kidney neoplasms.

The records of 65 consecutive patients discharged from the hospital with a diagnosis of primary parenchymal neoplasm of the kidney were reviewed. Four of the 65 patients had neoplasms which were not detected by excretory urography. The 4 undetected lesions included 3 renal cell carcinomas and 1 oncocytoma. All of these lesions projected from the anterior or posterior surface of the kidney, and all 4 were clearly demonstrated by computed tomography. Normal findings on an excretory urogram do not completely exclude a neoplasm of the kidney. When there is strong clinical suspicion of a renal neoplasm, computed tomography should be the initial examination or should be done even if the urogram has shown normal findings.
